Favorite Things Giveaway and Blog Hop

Last year we blogged about our favorite non-school
related things, this year we have decided that we will share
with you our favorite school things!

So here we go:

My FAVORITE APP (so far)

This may not be a well-known app but I do ADORE
it. Doodle Buddy
is a FREE app.

Did I say FREE?

Yup, and it
doesn’t stink like so many other lite or free apps.

You can use it in a variety of ways. Essentially it is a blank slate. You may use
a stylus or your finger to make words and/or numbers. I have been using
this in my math technology center.

My kinders LOVE writing their
numbers.

There are endless
possibilities for this app. You may write words in a word work center,
write sentences, pair up and write questions/answers with partners and that is
all that I can think of in one MINUTE. There
are so many ways to utilize this gold mine.

#1Organize your CRAYONS PEOPLE!I use this handy crayon tote from Lakeshore learning. It has truly kept my sanity intact. Well.... that is debatable.

#2Keep track of your anecdotal
notes while your read with your students.I use a guided reading notebook, a short little outline sheet, and jot down ideas, observations, and what we worked on
during the week.This way I can easily
access their progress and it keeps me on track.

Some
of my favorite things, personally.

Once again we want to treat you all to our favorite things!!! Check out these great prizes!
